Biography

Lee knows trials. Lee knows Texas. Lee knows how to win.

Over the course of his stellar career, Lee has tried dozens of cases in state and federal courts, representing plaintiffs and defendants ranging from individuals to Fortune 10 corporations. Highlighting his adaptability and ease in any setting, one of those successful trials was a 19-day Zoom trial during the Covid-19 pandemic, believed to be the longest virtual trial to-date in Texas.

Through the years, Lee has secured for his clients some of the largest verdicts in Texas. Because of his seasoned experience and notable victories, Lee has long been named a leading litigator in the state and nationwide.

He is especially celebrated for his intellectual-property work, but he has also achieved superior results in oil and gas, construction, securities, antitrust, FCPA, fraud, trade-secret, shareholder-rights, and class-action matters. These wide-ranging successes are due in part to Lee’s intellectual curiosity—he enjoys learning about his clients and their industries—and his ability to master complex business dealings or scientific concepts and explain them clearly to lay people like judges and juries.

Lee also serves as arbitrator in large, complex disputes, often appointed by former opposing counsel who have observed his bright mind, business savvy, and even temperament firsthand.

A lifelong Houstonian, Lee is dedicated to the community. He is an Eagle Scout and committed assistant Scoutmaster for Troop 212.

Firm Description

What makes MBS smart law?

We are a premier team of civil and white-collar trial and appellate lawyers with a proven track record of victories. We’ve been successful because we listen carefully—to our clients so that we understand the concerns and goals that drive them, to judges so that we understand how to persuade them, and to opposing counsel so that we understand how to beat them. We think creatively and strategically through every litigation step, and we focus efficiently on what’s necessary to win.

Maximizing value for clients is a top priority. We are responsive lawyers who communicate clearly, regularly, and honestly. We are nimble with our fee arrangements, using hourly, fixed, contingency, or hybrid agreements that best suit a given case and that align our financial interests with those of our clients. Ultimately, we care little about how it’s always been done—we focus on how it should be done.

This is smart law.
